When we feel sad, especially for long periods of time, it can seem as if the sadness is a part of who we are--an overwhelming, invisible, and scary sensation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eWhen Sadness Is at Your Door\u003c\/i\u003e, Eva Eland brilliantly approaches this feeling as if it is a visitor. She gives it a shape and a face, and encourages the reader to give it a name, all of which helps to demystify it and distinguish it from ourselves. She suggests activities to do with it, like sitting quietly, drawing, and going outside for a walk. The beauty of this approach is in the respect the book has for the feeling, and the absence of a narrative that encourages the reader to \"get over\" it or indicates that it's \"bad,\" both of which are anxiety-producing notions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSimple illustrations that recall the classic style of Crockett Johnson (\u003ci\u003eHarold and the Purple Crayon\u003c\/i\u003e) invite readers to add their own impressions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEva Eland's debut picture book is a great primer in mindfulness and emotional literacy, perfect for kids navigating these new feelings--and for adult readers tackling the feelings themselves!","brand":"Random House Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43382962847999,"sku":"9780525707189","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780525707189_s600x595.jpg?v=1782152113","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780525707189","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
